Latitude measures North or South of the Equator in degrees. 0° is the Equator, and 90° N (or +90°) is the North Pole, and 90° S (or -90°) is the South Pole. Each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (or 60 Nautical Miles). Longitude lines (which run north and south, but measure east/west) get closer together as you approach either pole.
Equator. The Latitude of a place is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator.
The distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. For example, the equator is measured at 0 degrees; Sydney Australia lies 33.51 degrees south of the equator; Helsinki Finland lies 60 degrees north of the equator.
The distance north and south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. The equator is designated as 0° latitude, with measurements increasing to 90° north and 90° south.
Latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is the angular distance east or west of the equator.
Latitude is the location distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
Angular distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees, with 0 degrees at the equator, 90 degrees at the North Pole, and -90 degrees at the South Pole. This measure is known as latitude and helps to indicate a location's position in terms of its distance from the equator along Earth's surface.
Latitude
The Equator.
Latitude. 2nd answer: Latitude is the wrong answer. Distance is measured in miles, feet, yards, meters, kilometers, and so forth. Latitude is a measurement of degrees, not distance.
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.
True
Declination (positive and negative respectively) is the angular distance between north and south of the Celestial Equator.
